I FIM'ed my plants today. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means I'll get four colas instead of two from normal topping. It's a simple snip and the only difference is in where you snip it. You basically snip off about 75% of the top leaf bud and it grows 4 colas. I'm not a math genius but that works for me.

No, you throw it away. It's actually just a tiny little bit; hard to imagine removing such a small amount would make such a difference. In a few days there will be four stalks coming from where I snipped them.

no no no,where you cut the tip,dose that grow or just the four branches in the pic

my understanding was you top a plant and the two lower branches,turn into the tops,but what your sayin s you wack the tip three quarters off and the top four branches grow?

That's exactly right. The stuff he cut off USED to be the main top. It works.

Can you post some more pics as soon as their is noticeable growth?
I'm really interested in this, I usually top multiple time to get my results.
Do your plants end up anything like these in my signature?

I surely will post pix Sure Shot. This is a new strain for me so I don't know exactly what they will look like. I don't have an much room as you do so my grow room will not look nearly as incredible as yours. Props to you my friend!
